Are the Democrats going to shut down the government on Friday, December 3, 2010?

The U.S. government is operating under a Continuing Resolution (CR) that expires on December 3. Congress must do something to keep the government operating after that date...

Politico said the Democrats "have only themselves to blame ... after failing to pass a budget this year or any of the dozen annual appropriations" bills. Apparently anticipating that an omnibus bill cannot be passed, the White House wants a year-long CR according to Politico, because a short-term CR would mean that the budget would have to be taken up again early next year when Republicans have control of the House giving them "a powerful vehicle to advance not just their budget agenda but also health care riders early in the next Congress." (emphasis added)

God, I hope so.

A year-long CR is nothing more than an omnibus spending bill under a different name.

And easier to pass.

But who will harass the masses?

You have apparently been sleeping through recent history when you say, "Democrats shut down the government." Democrats are never blamed for a government shutdown. The willing LSM will blame the Republicans, and the sheeple will believe them, even when it's the Dems who refuse to budge on the spending.

It is time to start the choking process on this administration.

They”ll just “deem” it as passed.

[rickb308]

AND the lame stream media.

Politico said the Democrats "have only themselves to blame..."

And they'll be on it, as soon as they're done blaming Bush, Rove, Cheney, Palin, DeMint, Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.
